Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of UFO SIGHTINGS are the undeniable presence of UFOs and aliens, their potential influence on human history and society, and the exploration of scientific and pseudoscientific theories related to extraterrestrial life, time travel, and ancient mysteries. The editorial stance is one of advocacy for the reality of UFOs and aliens, a commitment to uncovering and reporting the truth, and a critical yet open-minded approach to investigating phenomena, as evidenced by the book reviews.

This issue of UFO Magazine, dated sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s, features a compelling cover story by Jason Murdoch detailing the discovery of what is purported to be an alien dictionary. The magazine also includes practical advice on handling UFO sightings and a separate article on a revolutionary horse racing system.

Alien Dictionary Discovery

Jason Murdoch reports on his meeting with Professor Roger Haily, a linguistics professor at Howardson University, located near the town of Wanikuha, New York. Professor Haily has discovered a small, yellow book with a cover made of an unidentifiable, rigid material. The book contains pages filled with strange printing that Professor Haily states does not correspond to any known Earth language. He believes it to be an 'alien dictionary' from the Aaogi, a civilization from the fourth planet of the Tau Ceti system.

Professor Haily found the book on a New York City subway, left behind by a man he did not pay close attention to. He has been trying to decipher it for weeks with limited success. The professor's field is linguistics, and he is intrigued by the possibility of an extraterrestrial language. He contacted Murdoch because he needed assistance and did not want to involve the government, fearing the discovery would be suppressed or ridiculed.

Murdoch and Professor Haily then travel to the main office of Computer Innovations to use a powerful computer, the C-813297Z, to aid in deciphering the book. The professor explains that the book is not just a dictionary but an 'Aaogi-English, English-Aaogi dictionary,' which will allow them to learn about the Aaogi culture and their purposes on Earth. The immediate challenge is to find an Aaogi to communicate with or discover more Aaogi writing.

Professor Haily believes that by understanding the grammar, they can 'broadcast' a message. After considerable effort, they manage to compose a message in what they hope is understandable Aaogi. They decide to publish this message in the magazine, hoping the Aaogi will see it and contact them. The message reads: "JDHE GDIE HDGOGIG EKEID KDGJTN UDNDT YDAFJKFNH JRHM KDGDG FSNDY AGAJN HGL! We hope, if the Aaogi are still on Earth and have received this message, that they will contact us. We call to you in peace. We mean you no harm."

UFO Sighting Guide

Written by Paula Dean, this section provides a 'Lifesaving Guide' on what to do if one encounters a UFO. The advice emphasizes remaining calm and rational. Key points include:

  • Don't Panic: Avoid dropping dead, falling unconscious, or going insane. Maintain composure.
  • Verify the Sighting: Consider factors like air pollution, fatigue, or eyestrain. If you are certain it's not a hallucination, seek confirmation.
  • Get a Second Opinion: Call a trusted friend, neighbor, or relative to witness the phenomenon.
  • Alert Authorities: Contact local observatories, planetariums, or relevant experts. Avoid immediate confrontation.
  • Close Encounters: If a flying saucer lands, do not immediately resort to drastic measures like using a gun, as the beings might be intelligent and not hostile. Treat them as innocent until proven guilty. Be friendly but tentative. Control shock if they appear unusual.
  • Diplomacy: Remember the lesson of 'The Day The Earth Stood Still' and prioritize diplomacy to prevent chaos. If you have a friendly encounter, inform them that 'we sent you' and contact the magazine.

The article also touches on the Soviet Union preparing a rocket for launching, posing the question of whether the Aaogi are watching.

Horse Racing System

An advertisement details a new horse racing system developed by Professor Frank George, a renowned computer scientist and consultant. In early 1979, Professor George collaborated with 17 professional horse players and a powerful computer to create an 'ultimate horse racing system.' The system analyzes millions of bits of data from past races to reveal predictable patterns and calculate 'true odds' in advance. The report, titled 'A Better Bet,' claims to reveal fundamental truths about horse racing and offers a method to make a comfortable living from the track by understanding probabilities and identifying horses that are 'ready' to win. The report costs $25 and is offered with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea of extraterrestrial life and its potential interaction with humanity. There is a strong emphasis on the importance of open-mindedness, rational investigation, and the need for communication with alien intelligences. The editorial stance appears to be one of advocating for the serious study of UFO phenomena and encouraging public engagement with these topics, while also cautioning against government overreach and suppression of information. The inclusion of a practical guide for UFO encounters suggests a desire to empower readers with knowledge and preparedness. The horse racing article, while seemingly unrelated, aligns with a theme of uncovering hidden knowledge and gaining an 'edge' through advanced analysis, whether in gambling or in understanding extraterrestrial phenomena.

This issue of the magazine, identified by page number 21, focuses on the mysterious death of Andrew Holmes in Michigan and explores potential extraterrestrial connections, alongside theories of time travel.

Camper Killed in Michigan: Were Aliens Responsible?

The lead article details the perplexing death of Andrew Holmes, a young geology student from Northwestern University, during a solo hiking trip in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in 1979. Holmes, described as being in good health, was found deceased after a week. Initial examinations, including an autopsy, revealed no discernible cause of death. His body had deteriorated due to exposure, and it was transported to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor for further investigation.

At the University of Michigan Hospital, a team led by microbiologist Dr. John Mellon employed an electron microscope, a novel approach for an autopsy. They discovered extremely tiny microbes, different from any known virus, which they could not classify. Dr. Mellon stated, "What we have here is a new organism, a form of life that has never been seen before." The investigation into this "Holmes Microbe" suggested it was not of Earth. Exobiologist Dr. Manuel Ortega posited that new organisms evolve from pre-existing ones, implying this microbe must have an extraterrestrial origin.

Further investigation involved checking for UFO activity in the area where Holmes was found. Although no sightings were officially reported, the vast and sparsely populated nature of the region meant UFOs could have gone undetected. A search team was dispatched to northern Michigan. On September 3, 1979, they discovered a circular burn-mark approximately 20 feet in diameter, with three deep depressions 30 feet beyond it. Scientists speculated that an alien spacecraft might have landed, and its occupants could have inadvertently infected Holmes with the alien microbe, to which he had no defense.

The article presents this as the believed sequence of events: an alien craft landed, its occupants encountered Holmes, and he was infected by a microbe against which his body had no defense, leading to his death.

Time Travel Solved!

Another significant section of the magazine introduces the work of Dr. Jean Killingsworth, a research scientist from the Manhattan Research Institute, who claims to have uncovered a unified field theory of space-time travel. This theory, she suggests, will explain the frequent appearance of UFOs around Earth and could make time travel accessible.

Dr. Killingsworth's research addresses the challenges of space-time travel, particularly the immense distances and the paradoxes of moving through time. She acknowledges Einstein's theory of time dilation, where time slows down for an object approaching the speed of light, causing it to age slower than stationary observers. However, she notes that traveling backward in time presents greater problems, especially considering the constant motion of the universe.

She proposes a model that incorporates a third dimension into time travel, beyond the conventional space, time, and height. This model, illustrated by diagrams, suggests that time travelers can move through space, time, and this additional "dimension." This allows for movement across vast distances and time periods, potentially explaining UFOs as vehicles used by time travelers from different space-time continuums.

Dr. Killingsworth's theory suggests that UFOs might be travelers not only through space but also through different space-time continuums. She explains that the universe has limits, and her theory accounts for travel outside the 'present' continuum. She also discusses how positions 3 and 4 in her model offer unique transportation methods that could explain UFO phenomena, allowing for instantaneous movement across vast distances but limiting the arrival point in history.

She concludes that if races were billions of years more advanced, they could traverse vast distances and time. However, she struggles to account for UFO appearances if the aliens are not vastly more advanced, given the relatively short evolutionary history of life on Earth. The article implies that the aliens encountered might be so advanced that their travel capabilities exceed current understanding.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to lean towards a belief in extraterrestrial influence and advanced technological capabilities, particularly concerning UFOs and unexplained phenomena. The article on Andrew Holmes' death strongly suggests alien involvement, presenting it as the most plausible explanation for the inexplicable circumstances. Similarly, the section on time travel frames UFOs as potential evidence of advanced beings capable of manipulating space-time. The editorial stance seems to be one of open-minded investigation into paranormal and unexplained events, with a clear inclination towards extraterrestrial hypotheses.

This issue of "UFO Investigator" (Vol. 1, No. 2, 1979) presents a sensationalist blend of alleged alien conspiracies, theoretical physics, and apocalyptic predictions. The magazine's primary focus is on the claim that the 1980 US presidential election is being secretly controlled by extraterrestrials.

Alien Plot to Control the 1980 Election

The lead article, "Is There An Alien President In The Making?", details a supposed alien plot to influence the outcome of the 1980 presidential election. The magazine claims to have received credible information from a source indicating that aliens are manipulating the political landscape to install their preferred candidate. The article suggests that candidates like Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan are all under alien influence. It posits that aliens aim to discredit Carter by orchestrating economic problems, such as rising oil prices and inflation, to make him appear ineffective. The article also alleges that aliens are controlling campaign workers and using "strange campaign practices" to sabotage opposing candidates. A personal account from a witness describes hearing aliens on a radio transmission discussing their plan to control the election and thus the United States.

Theoretical Physics: Time Travel and Multiple Universes

Beyond political intrigue, the magazine delves into speculative physics regarding time travel. A physicist, identified as Dr. Killingsworth, presents ideas about alternative dimensions and the nature of reality. He introduces the "either/or" hypothesis, suggesting that every decision creates two parallel universes, leading to an infinite number of realities. This concept is illustrated with diagrams showing how travel through space and time might be possible across these multiple continuums. The article explores the possibility of using black holes as a source of energy for time travel, proposing that a time machine could create its own black hole to transport itself to a different point in time and space. It also touches upon the concept of 'gluons' and their potential role in shrinking matter into a black hole.

Apocalyptic Predictions for 1982

Another significant theme is the prediction of a global catastrophe in 1982. The article "WILL YOU BE ALIVE IN 1982?" cites psychics like Edgar Cayce and Jeane Dixon, as well as seismological data, to warn of impending "troubled times" and a "great physical holocaust." These predictions include land shifts, rising sea levels, and widespread natural disasters. The magazine suggests that only those who heed these warnings and trust in a higher intelligence, referred to as "Space Brothers," will survive.

The 'Space Brothers' and a Path to Survival

The "Space Brothers" are presented as advanced beings who have made contact with influential individuals and are offering humanity aid to escape the predicted holocaust. They are described as having developed psychic abilities and the capacity for time travel, allowing them to foresee the impending doom. The magazine promotes a book, "UFO PROPHECY" by Arthur Shuttlewood, which reportedly details the Space People's plan for humanity and how individuals can contact them. A free guideline on contacting these beings is offered with book orders.

Space Travel Limitations

An article titled "THE QUEST FOR" discusses the immense challenges of interstellar travel. It highlights the vast distances between stars, using Alpha Centauri as an example, and explains how Einstein's theory of relativity imposes fundamental limitations on space travel. The article notes that as an object approaches the speed of light, its length decreases, its mass increases, and it would require infinite energy to reach that speed, making voyages to other stars practically impossible with current technology, likely taking multiple generations.

Advertising and Subscription Offers

The issue also contains advertisements for government surplus manuals, factory closeout books, and a mail-order service for books and subscriptions to "UFO REVIEW." A separate advertisement offers a free "Thought Communicator" device with a manuscript survey on mind-reading techniques.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the pervasive influence of aliens in human affairs, particularly in politics, the speculative possibilities of advanced physics like time travel and parallel universes, and the looming threat of global disaster. The editorial stance is one of alarm and urgency, urging readers to be aware of these perceived threats and to seek alternative solutions, whether through understanding UFO phenomena, embracing psychic insights, or preparing for apocalyptic events. The magazine positions itself as a source of "uncovered" information, presenting sensational claims as credible evidence.

This issue of the magazine, identified by page number 41, features a cover story on "TELEPORTATION" by David McCarthy. The cover poses the question of whether instantaneous interstellar travel is possible and suggests a "maybe" answer from experts. It includes an image of a prototype cryogenic "freeze chamber" with a mannequin inside.

Teleportation and Cryogenics

The article explores the scientific hurdles in achieving interstellar travel. It highlights cryogenics, or freeze-sleeping, as a potential method to circumvent distance problems, though it's still many years away from practical application for interstellar voyages. The Cryogenics Institute of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Andrea Simonson, is presented as a world leader in this field. Dr. Simonson explains that the main challenge lies not in freezing but in the successful revival of a subject, due to the brittleness of frozen tissue and the complexity of restarting life processes without causing death.

Even with successful cryogenics, the interstellar distance barrier remains. The article introduces the Teleportation Research and Development Administration (TRDA), established under the auspices of the Ancient Astronauts Foundation, with the goal of developing a practical teleportation device by the year 2000. The TRDA's work is kept secret due to potential military applications.

Currently, teleportation technology is in its infancy. Extremely small glass beads have been teleported over distances of about 1.2 centimeters, but the process is energy-intensive and reconstitution at the destination is often erratic, resulting in "jumbled" states and molecular imperfections.

A significant challenge in teleportation is the need for both a transmitter and a receiver at the destination. This implies that for interstellar teleportation, a receiver would first need to be sent by conventional means.

The Russian Revolution Encounter

The magazine also features a story titled "ALIENS FOUGHT IN THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION!" detailing an alleged extraterrestrial involvement. It recounts the discovery of a tin can containing a notebook by a Soviet railway worker, Pavel Vasilchenko, during the laying of the trans-Siberian railway in 1917. The notebook, a diary written by Nikolai Shkolnikov, a White Russian soldier, was examined by Dr. Morris de Soto of the Iowa Center for Anthropological Studies.

The diary entries describe the harsh realities of the Russian Revolution and an encounter with an extraterrestrial being named Aatu. Shkolnikov expresses bewilderment at the Bolsheviks' tenacity and describes a mysterious flash of light and loud report. Later entries detail Aatu's concern for Shkolnikov's safety and his inability to comprehend death, asking why fallen soldiers cannot be revived.

Aatu describes his home planet, Ko'fuur, which orbits Tau Ceti and is similar in size to Earth. He notes similarities between Ko'fuur's government and both American democracy and the Communist system, but avoids stating whether he is supporting the Bolsheviks, emphasizing his role is to help Earth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The issue explores themes of futuristic technology, particularly teleportation and cryogenics, and their potential to overcome the vast distances of space. It also delves into historical mysteries and potential extraterrestrial contact, juxtaposing cutting-edge science with a historical narrative of unexplained phenomena during a period of significant global upheaval. The editorial stance appears to be one of cautious optimism regarding scientific advancement while also embracing speculative historical accounts of alien encounters.

This issue of OMNI magazine, Volume 1, Issue 1, priced at $1.00, presents a collection of extraordinary claims and speculative theories. The cover boldly advertises the power to "MAKE ANYONE DO ANYTHING YOU MENTALLY COMMAND-WITH YOUR MIND ALONE!", promoting a technique called SUCCESP (Science of Extra-Sensory Persuasion) and offering a free monograph.

Mind Control and SUCCESP

The lead article, "MAKE ANYONE DO ANYTHING YOU MENTALLY COMMAND-WITH YOUR MIND ALONE!", claims that individuals can mentally command others to do their bidding, a power supposedly possessed unknowingly throughout life. The magazine offers a "Manual Review Folio" detailing SUCCESP, which is described as a distinct form of extra-sensory persuasion that allows thoughts to influence individuals or groups. The offer includes a bonus gift monograph, "The Secret Worth $1,000," for which a select group of executives allegedly paid that amount to attend a seminar.

Documented Cases of Alien Encounters

The issue features "STRANGE ENCOUNTERS - BIZARRE & EERIE CONTACTS WITH FLYING SAUCERS," a book by Timothy Green Beckley. It presents several documented cases, including a Canadian woman claiming abduction and implantation by space beings, Mrs. V. from Somerset, England, describing an examination by a humanoid entity and relations with an outer-space being, and a New York woman's encounter with an entity in uniform. Another case details a San Diego woman's terrifying experience involving various lights and beings, and a Philadelphia man reports seeing flying discs followed by his daughter's hair glowing.

Secret Plan and Supernatural Gifts

Beckley's investigation suggests UFO occupants have a secret plan involving interbreeding and a larger purpose behind cosmic implantations. The magazine also highlights that UFOs offer supernatural gifts, citing Lorie Roberts' experience at age six, which made her believe she is "not one of us," suggesting Earthlings are being endowed with powers due to a link with unknown visitors.

The Dinosaur Mystery: An Alien Experiment?

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the theory that dinosaurs were created by alien scientists as a genetic experiment. The article "AT LAST-THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DINOSAURS!" questions their origin and sudden disappearance. It introduces the "Vespиссі Fossil," a petrified tyrannosaur bone with a precisely drilled hole, discovered by an expedition from the University of Verona. Scientists, including Dr. Mario Vespucci, are baffled by this find, as it predates human technological capability.

Dr. Sarris' Hypothesis

Dr. Armand Sarris, a scientist researching teleportation, noticed the similarity between the hole in the fossil and the tiny holes he drills in mice for electrode implants. This led to the hypothesis that aliens may have implanted sensing devices in dinosaurs to monitor them. The magazine's editor, Eugene Allan Schwimmer, convened a meeting of the scientific executive board to investigate.

The Experiment Fails

Dr. Samantha Davison, scientist-in-charge of the GENETIC DIVISION, proposes a second hypothesis: that the dinosaurs themselves were the experiment. She suggests that aliens, after failing to create intelligent creatures from dinosaurs, wiped them out. The article extends this to mankind, questioning if we are also an experiment and what would happen if "the experiment" fails, implying a potential extinction for humanity.

Personal Account from the Russian Revolution

A narrative section details the experiences of an individual during the Russian Revolution in 1917, encountering an extraterrestrial named Aatu. Aatu describes his home planet, Graa'n, and its advanced technology, including a substance called 'Mennotiis.' The diarist recounts battles with Bolsheviks and Aatu's seemingly unaffected state in the cold due to his silver garment. Aatu claims his race does not require food and that he was only eating to please the narrator. The diary ends abruptly, leaving questions about Aatu's true purpose and the veracity of the account.

OMNI-COSMICS and Personal Power

Another section promotes "OMNI-COSMICS," described as a "hidden energy power" that can be channeled for personal gain, wealth, and happiness. It offers a guide to the "SEVEN PSYCHIC CENTERS" and claims to help users "Live Like A King And never want again." Ann Fisher, an instructor at State University of New York, is mentioned as an author of a monograph on "The Mind's Psychic Powers and Its Powers of the Mind."

H.G. Wells and Extraterrestrial Origins

The issue concludes with a piece questioning "WAS H.G. WELLS AN ALIEN?" It references an illustration from Wells' novel "The Star," suggesting his fascination with the heavens might stem from a belief in his own extraterrestrial origins.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the potential for extraordinary human mental abilities (mind control), the reality and influence of extraterrestrial life (UFOs, alien encounters, genetic experiments), and the questioning of established scientific and historical narratives (dinosaur extinction, H.G. Wells' origins). The editorial stance appears to be one that embraces speculative, often controversial, theories and presents them as plausible possibilities, encouraging readers to question conventional wisdom and consider the unknown. The magazine actively promotes self-empowerment through paranormal means and offers resources for further exploration of these topics.

Title: UFO SIGHTINGS
Issue: 1
Publisher: S.J. Publications, Inc.
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This first issue of "UFO SIGHTINGS" delves into the controversial theory that the renowned science fiction author H.G. Wells may have been an extraterrestrial being. The magazine presents research conducted by two British scientists, Dr. Simon Adams and Dr. Alfred May, who have reportedly uncovered startling facts about Wells' life and origins.

The Alien Hypothesis of H.G. Wells

The central theme of this issue posits that H.G. Wells, often hailed as a father of "science fiction" alongside Jules Verne, was not of human parentage. According to Dr. Adams and Dr. May, Wells himself harbored doubts about his heritage and attributed his visionary ideas to "imagination" and "divine inspiration." However, the scientists suggest these inspirations might have been an inheritance from a scientifically and technologically advanced alien race.

To mask his true origins, Wells allegedly wrote lightly about advanced concepts, including technology and science. The article highlights that Wells was adopted and spent his life searching for clues about his parentage, a quest that led only to frustration.

Further evidence presented includes the recent uncovering of secret diaries kept by Wells. These diaries reportedly reveal his constant search for clues about life forms on other worlds. His friends noted his peculiar fascination with the stars, often found peering through his telescope on clear nights, recording his findings in his journals. However, these journals only documented mundane observations, omitting what he truly saw.

Wells' recently discovered diaries are described as even more revelatory. He expressed a strong belief that he originated from a planet or stellar kingdom, possibly located north of Aldebaran. He felt that concepts like intergalactic wars and time travel in his fiction were the result of futuristic education, possibly through alien "brain implantation" or "sleep hypnosis."

The scientists propose that Wells' ideas about future travel, which he envisioned as potentially not requiring bulky vessels but rather a form of floating or bird-like flight, were linked to his understanding of advanced technology. He theorized that the closest possibility for his fall to Earth involved a form of "time travel" or "slipping through a time warp," which inspired his novel on the subject.

Dr. Adams and Dr. May claim to have examined samples of Wells' diaries and library materials to corroborate their findings. They assert that the evidence strongly suggests H.G. Wells may indeed have been an alien.

The magazine also touches upon Wells' interest in comets and space, suggesting it stemmed from his predisposition to believe he was alien in nature.

Broader Implications and Speculation

The article speculates on the broader implications if Wells were an alien. It raises questions about whether aliens could be influencing human writers and implanting knowledge or technology into human minds through methods like tele-transportation. The issue suggests that H.G. Wells might have brought his mysterious visions from the technology of another planet, offering new insights into the source of science fiction fantasy.

An accompanying note mentions that workers, directed by the scientists, dug up the remains of Wells' "Wells' secret cave" to find evidence of his past life as an alien. However, their findings were inconclusive, though some interesting remnants of Wells' life were discovered.

Related Content: The Magic Power of Witchcraft

Interestingly, the magazine also includes a lengthy advertisement for a book titled "THE MAGIC POWER OF WITCHCRAFT" by Gavin and Yvonne Frost. This book is promoted as a guide to achieving wealth, love, protection, and power through witchcraft, offering step-by-step instructions in plain English. It details various spells and techniques, including the "Witch's Money Jar," "Witch's Money Magnet," and methods for seeing into the future using a "Black Mirror." The authors, Gavin and Yvonne Frost, are described as Archbishop and Bishop of the Church of Wicca, respectively. The advertisement also offers a free "Witches Protection Amulet" with the purchase of the book.

The Last Word

The concluding section, "THE LAST WORD," by Russell Wiener, expresses hope that readers have enjoyed the first issue and are now more informed about alien intervention. Wiener emphasizes that the truth, though potentially painful, must be known. He states the information presented was not meant to scare but to inform. The next issue is promised to be an "eye opener," and readers are urged to buy "UFO SIGHTINGS" as a duty to realize the alien presence in society and prepare for potential future contact with aliens. He concludes by encouraging readers to "keep watching the skies and believing," asserting that "true believers will be proven right in the end."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The primary theme of this issue is the exploration of extraterrestrial influence on human culture, specifically focusing on the life and work of H.G. Wells. The editorial stance is one of open inquiry into UFO phenomena and alien presence, encouraging readers to consider unconventional theories and to actively engage with the subject matter. The magazine positions itself as a source of "startling information" intended to educate and inform, rather than to alarm, its readership about the potential reality of alien intervention. There is a clear advocacy for belief in UFOs and aliens, with the expectation that believers will ultimately be vindicated.
